CHECK MY SECOND PAGE FOR MY 18 MONTH PROGRESS CHART!!

Well, it's been 2 years since my "rebirth"! I still love my sleeve although I have, unfortunately, gotten some of my appetite back, UCK!! I started journeling about a year ago and have continued as I do not want to gain any back, paid WAY too much for this not to work!! LOL  Good luck to all on your journey!!

Well, I'm going in for some more plastics on Tuesday.  I am having a short scar lower face lift and my lower eyelids done. I love this plastic surgery stuff!!!! This will be the end of it, tho, no more money!!! LOL       All went well, love my new face!!!

WOW, it is so hard to believe that a year has gone by since my VSG surgery!! I'm sitting here trying to find some great words of wisdom and I really don't have any. I guess the best advice is just to stick to the program that your surgeon gives you and you can be where I am.  After fighting, literally, all my life with my weight, I finally feel free from food!! Good luck to all!!

Hi All, Tomorrow I am having a direct neck lift. This plastic surgery is beginning to get addictive, ha ha!! All should go great, it's just under a general in his office, will keep you posted!!

I had my TT last Wed. 2/25 and am so pleased to say that I am in relatively great shape!! I was really concerned about being in excruciating pain, but it seems to be very manageable. Can't run a marathon yet, but am very happy with the condition I'm in. Nancy

I have so enjoyed looking at other people's progress that I decided to track mine on a weekly basis at a glance. I hope this helps others to compare their progress.

Lost 15 lbs. before surgery.
